Meet the Stars!

This year, in support of our 2026–2027 bar year theme, “Know Your Worth,” we are celebrating women who recognize the value of their voices, experiences, and contributions and use them to make a meaningful impact in the legal profession and community.

The Honorable Loren L. AliKhan serves on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Before her appointment to the federal bench in 2023, she served as an Associate Judge on the D.C. Court of Appeals and as Solicitor General for the District of Columbia, overseeing the District's appellate litigation and representing the District in higher courts.

Prior to her judicial appointment, Judge AliKhan also practiced appellate litigation at O'Melveny & Myers LLP. She had an active pro bono practice and assisted with the firm’s Supreme Court and Appellate Practice Clinic at Harvard Law School and with the legal writing program at Yale Law School.

Join us on September 15 at the D.C. Bar as we celebrate Judge AliKhan and all of our 2026 Stars. The evening will provide an opportunity to hear from our Stars and connect with WBA Board members and committee co-chairs to learn more about getting involved with the WBA.

There is no cost to attend, but we ask that you register: https://wbadc.member365.com/public/event/details/c9e17df0346330cc12869ea8a222d02d3749e36c/1

We couldn't be prouder of WBA member Cory Amron on receiving the American Bar Association Commission on Women in the Profession's 2026 Margaret Brent Women Lawyers of Achievement Award.

Cory has been part of our community for decades, and we were honored to recognize her with our Star of the Bar Award in 2003 and Woman Lawyer of the Year Award in 2004.

It was especially meaningful to see so many of our leaders and members there to cheer on one of our own as she received one of the legal profession's highest honors.

Congratulations, Cory, and congratulations to this year's fellow Margaret Brent Award recipients: Sheila Boston, Hon. Michelle Childs, Ramona Romero, and Mary Smith.
